If you don’t need lithium batteries, though, how is Navico going to sell you $85,000 of power electronics? Think of the salesmen and their commissions, or the managers and their bonuses.
There is a very real tendency, and it’s become much worse in the last 7-10 years, to throw over-engineered complexity at problems that do not actually require or benefit from complex solutions.

Hi Matt,
I too have noticed the trend you call out getting way worse and the speed of that deterioration seems to be getting worse too.
